17, between Clinton and Powell.. Probably a very accurate assessment of my politcal stances.

20 = Colin Powell. I am happy about this score because it puts me close to Colin Powell's views, who is my hero. But the quiz was really too generalized. Its either one way or the other.

To bad the scale at the bottom doens't go to 45, otherwise they might have been able to fit George W. in there :)

I got a 15, btw.

That's probably the biggest one. Pro-sports are very profitable. There's no reason why teams can't fund their own stadium construction.

Many of them are starting to. The Giants for example just financed their own stadium. Of course if they're financing the stadium then the state should have to pay the team to use it.

If the taxpayer finances the stadium, the taxpayer shouldn't have to pay to use it.

Yeah :(

Some questions really make you go "uhh.... there really should be a third option here."

The last question is a pretty good example:

25. Certain environmental problems call for government action, even if it means new programs or increased taxes.

I don't think we should increase taxes, but I do believe in penalties and doing things that don't require tax increases that address serious environmental issues (I.e. fleet standards for car companies).

Please, W would rank about a 15-20, not higher.

Who do you trust more Trial Lawyers or Doctors? HTF is that a legit question? For legal advice the lawyers, for medical the doctors, but I see the question is just bait to verify the paranoia and world illusion conservatives already have.

Hahahaha! Paranoid much? :D

Not at all, can you deny this is a loaded test that is written for people like you? These are in no way real political questions.

Take the test, report the results or shutup.

I fully agree. But if the Saints build their own stadium taxpayers shouldn't turn their place into a filthy swamp next time there's a hurricane.

Why? He is a pretty moderate person overall.

He's commenting on the test, thus he is on topic.

I got a 17. Between Bill Clinton and Powell. That seems pretty accurate, IMO.

I'm calling shens on this. I'd expect you somewhere between Jackson and Hillary.

15-20 is on the liberal side of the scale. I hardly believe he is anywhere near that.

I've heard he is a pretty moderate person concerning his political standing however, I just don't see him that politically involved, at least in that spectrum. I've never seen him do any major speechs concerning all political issuses, he seems to focus on international relations thats it. Of course, that isn't a bad thing by any means it's just I've never heard him explain his social stances or economic views. Nor, does he seem to be invovled on that level.

Please the Neocons today are just the democrats of the 40s. Regan has nothing in common with the Republicans that are in office today.

They use the same rhetoric, but it ends there.

That shows how slanted this test is. I got 32 ...... after I fixed the scoring. It was broken.

God knows their actions don't show a relation. But of course I have been probably reading too much Buchanan.

Well sorry to burst your bubble but that is why many feel I would not only have a shot at President but that I could potentially be the best President this Country has ever had since it's Founding days.
